Washington First, President Donald Trump accused Democrats of becoming an"anti-Jewish" party. Then, he repeated his claims. And on Monday, Vice President Mike Pence picked up the mantle, accusing the Democratic Party of having been"co-opted" by anti-Semites.
"It's astonishing to think that the party of Harry Truman, which did so much to create the state of Israel, has been co-opted by people who promote rank anti-Semitic rhetoric and work to undermine the broad American consensus of support for Israel," Pence said on Monday, speaking at the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual conference in Washington.
